Yes'm, old friends is always best, 'less you can catch a new one that's fit to make an old one out of.

Friendship is certainly the finest balm for the pangs of disappointed love.

Friendship is the source of the greatest pleasures, and without friends even the most agreeable pursuits become tedious.

Rejoicing in our joy, not suffering over our suffering, makes someone a friend.

Friendship with ones self is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.

Caring for but never trying to own may be a further way to define friendship.

When the world is so complicated, the simple gift of friendship is within all of our hands.

It is more shameful to distrust our friends than to be deceived by them.

Let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.

As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.
